If would have definitely helped. The EGR is really the culprit on this one. It literally injects exhaust soot back into the intake Manifold

@@LakeBuilt It does so for very good reason. This was a Gen 2. On the Gen 3 engines, they went to a post DPF EGR so far less soot in the intake. Soot normally would pass threw and not cake on. Once oil is in the intake threw the PCV system you see what happens with that caking. It would not been anything like this if you stop oil getting into the intake. The EGR lowers NOx by cooling the intake charge. It only works under part throttle cruise. It also increase MPG slightly because it reduces pumping lose allowing for more efficient combustion only under part throttle. More so on a gas engine. The way to keep things clean is with a catch can and good oil low noack. Then an additive that boosts Cetane. More the better for more complete combustion for less soot. A Fuel Borne Catalyst like this one betterdiesel.com/. This helps alot with burning soot out at lower temps. Make sure the engine is operating at peak with no check engine issues. Also use a platinum DEF to keep the DEF injector clean. Peak or Travelers makes some. Walmart or Tractor Supply have a great price. After all this the last best thing is water injection. It is amazing. Steam cleans the whole intake system like new while getting EGTs down up hills or hard driving, towing. Give a pump in MPG underload also.

This build is around $30k total with parts and labor

I just use my Samsung S22 ultra phone. It's a decent camera

@joejoerrrjoejoerrr8512 for this entire build with same specs it would be around $30k

Hey man, for that power goal what you have listed will be plenty strong. As far as an oil cooler goes you don't need one at all, there are 1000+ hp 2jzs out there that aren't running them. So not necessary at around 450hp. But if you want to run one you definitely can, it definitely will help the oil temps.

I agree! Yeah I love the feeling out the car in general. The engine is just not it lol I've got something unique planned for it

Look up the 2.0 ecoboost, super cheap to get 400ish hp. Keisler is a complete kit. Tried and true, very many. How much is your time worth? If you do it, I'll buy it. Lol.

Don't boost this engine. The side ports will overheat.

​@MrGamman3yt Yeah I plan on just selling this engine it runs great for what it is so it's worth some money. I wanna do a V8 swap eventually

Researched this a bunch, v8 swaps, while great, don't know if 3 co's still make kits, it's crazy cramped in there. The keisler uses chev lfx, 300hp. Tons of space. Agree though, if you know chev lsx's well, you could rebuild 400-800hp pretty cheaply.

I want more power! Lol got something different in mind

Just depends on the parts used but this is close to a $30k build with all the engine work/T56 transmission that was bought brand new

Ok nice

@12Loony00 these are from Figs engineering, it's the best hood strut kit out there

@@LakeBuilt thank you bro i been lookin for years to find some good ones!

Wich one was is exactly ? I see mostly GS and LS struts Or do they all fit the same for the same models?

@@12Loony00 shopfigs.com/v5/G1117

@@LakeBuilt thank u

@@the.ghost.behind.u sweet! that'll be a solid setup. Gtes have a stout bottom end

@LakeBuilt I got half the pieces n just bought the shortblock so hopefully by winter it'll all be ready to assemble. Also going E46M3 6spd Getrag 420G on it. Drift car lol but atleast the shortblock was the 3rd to last expensive piece, next is the trans n link fury ecu then everything else gets back under 1k haha

Just got my first is300, looking for parts, how can I contact you?

Good luck man! It's really not too bad, just take your time and don't rush anything

Yup! They know it destroys engines. Yet force everyone else to use them. The EPA is a joke lol

On my end I charged around $15k in labor/parts. The customer spent more on his end with having the engine built/buying a new T56 transmission etc. Probably close to a $30k build here

@@bryansenulis7242 hvac control, key immobilizer, abs, and some body functions are tied into it. It's way easier to just keep it

@LakeBuilt o didn't know that..good info

I'm still devastated by it honestly and it happened over a year ago now! It sucks for sure. Good luck with your build man! Hoping to get something going for myself again here soon lol

@LakeBuilt hell. I could imagine. Blood sweat tears and money. Strive and determination. And such a beautiful build truly. So glad the motors good n strong though. But fuggen hell brotha. Thanks for the wishes on the motor and wisdom watching your build. I gotta 2 year out of state work project. So ima be delayed. But one day she will be done. Take care brotha. Stay safe. Well wishes homie.

I cut those at the back near the fuel tank, they are just the charcoal canister lines so they can vent to atmosphere

@@LakeBuilt no kidding? It’s that simple huh!!!? Great content youve provided on your channel! Thank you for sharing !!

@danielgalan6518 Yup that simple! And thank you I appreciate it!

With parts&labor it's around $25-30k, just depends on what all is being done

@@kellynkarr6270 I think you could get it to fit. Would just be limited to a smaller throttle body and have to run the IC piping directly down in between the PS pump and radiator

@@LakeBuilt Thanks for the response. I'm looking at the SPA intake and exhaust manifold for my build but I don't wish to relocate the ECU box. I'll be using a bosch TB but that sure looks like it'll be close to the ecu box!

@CarlosValdez-nu4gn you'll be good as long as you give it a rebuild. I wouldn't chance a stock 280k engine. Bearing tolerances, piston rings etc. are not going to like boost. Also any stock 2jz ge vvti Engine is limited to around 350-400hp because of the size of the connecting rods, they are pretty thin. So if you want anything reliable above 350hp it's a necessary upgrade

@TimberTrainer lol that was exhaust soot from another car 🤣

@swagerjr4 it bolted right up in the IS300 Differential. I believe it works for the sc300 and gs300 also but not 100% sure.

@coreyh7749 Thank you! the tool kit I actually bought from Amazon! The best prices are on there. The timing chain set, I can't remember the exact site but I was able to find them about half the price that most sites were asking, just had to do some digging around

@@LakeBuilt Which parts came in the timing chain set?

@@coreyh7749 it had all the new guides and both chains (cam gear chain, oil pump chain) + new bolts

@@LakeBuilt If you could find out the store and part kit number, that will be awesome. Trying to do mine (2013 328i xDrive N20)

Yeah if you're not launching at the track with slicks or super sticky tires it'll handle it. I have to upgrade to a twin disc on my r154, had a single disc clutch rated for 600lbs tq and it would slip in 4th gear doing highway pulls lol but the r154 held up so far

Thank you

@xperttii thank you! And nice! Yeah wiring can be intimidating for sure, biggest thing is to understand the circuits and how they work before going at it. Once you get a basic understanding, it actually isn't too bad!

I've done some of this type rework with my is300 project. I deleted alot of unused things in my build.

It definitely takes time. I've been rebuilding engines since I was like 12yrs old (started out with 2 stroke engines) so I have alot of time invested lol once you understand how turbochargers work and what needs to be upgraded to handle more power it just comes down to how much money/time you want to put into a build

@FiveMinuteFables thanks man! Yeah she turned out sick!

@@lIlIllll1 Parts alone is around $15k

@@LakeBuilt thats not bad at all. This is one of my dream builds that I want to get done in the near future! Congrats on the nice build man!

@lIlIllll1 Thanks man! Well now you know who to bring your car too if you want it done lol

@@LakeBuilthow much do you typically charge for labor on top of that 15k in parts? I’m looking for a similar build to be done to my is300.

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Got them dialed in 👍

@dannymasson_1975 that's a SPA Manifold, fits the IS300 really well actually!

@@LakeBuilt nice man, any cracking or any other issues with it?

@dannymasson_1975 it's a pretty heavy duty cast Manifold so it should last a very long time. Only thing needed is some shorter manifold studs

@@LakeBuilt​​⁠sweet thanks for the reply. How does the t56 hold up to 700whp?

@dannymasson_1975 great, probably one of the smoothest shifting transmissions I've ever driven. Definitely recommend

@tonystark9082 so you can build a 2jz GE into a more reliable/higher hp rated engine then a stock 2jz GTE is. Price wise you'll be spending about the same to build a GE then to buy a GTE in most cases, it'll actually be cheaper to just build your existing GE engine. The GE vvti cylinder head also flows more air compared to a GTE head also so that's a plus.

Parts alone on this build is in the $15k area. The customer went all out lol

Most people prefer captions lol

Haha still gotta get my IS going too

The way that I found best to do it was to lay out the actual harness and just label which wires need to go where, then re route them and make new splits. I only really wrote down the wire colors that I would extend, if that makes sense?

Thank you sir! More to come 🫡

Built a custom battery tray for it. It's held down on the bottom portion of the battery

@@LakeBuilt Thanks for answering

@@trooperz137 no problem!

This was only for testing, I built the rest of the Exhaust before I drove it

Yeah other fuel pumps work. Basically all walbro pumps will work. You do have to assemble it, which takes a little time but not too difficult. It's a good hanger overall!

What type of connectors did you use to wure the ecu. I was think of using duetch connectors for my gs300
